Senior members of the bank, including members of the Board, have been ordered to read and digest the judgment, learning, if they did not appreciate it already, that context is everything when deciding whether to dismiss someone for breaking a workplace speech code.
Members of the Board of Lloyd’s instructed to read their homework. That’s about as humiliating as it gets, short of being wrongfully fired.
The bank will also have to inform the Financial Conduct Authority that it got this one wrong, telling the UK’s financial services watchdog that their dismissal of Carl was substantially and procedurally unfair and an act of disability discrimination.
“Go and tell teacher what you’ve done.”
More humiliation for Lloyd’s.
The bank’s initial response to the tribunal’s decision, and in particular, paragraphs 1-2 of its “Grounds for refusing reinstatement” document were found by the panel to be “high-handed and rubbed salt into the wound by distorting the tribunal’s liability judgement, and using selective quotes to make the tribunal sound like it was saying something it did not say”.
Lloyds HR deliberately lied about what the court said. Luckily the court wasn’t buying their bullshit.
